<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jtlee321, post: 3402676, member: 73983&quot;]To answer your question about if people send coins to get photographed.&nbsp; Yes in fact they do.&nbsp; However, it is a business of trust.&nbsp; They have to trust me in sending some of their more prized possessions along with a form of payment.&nbsp; They have faith that I will photograph and return their coins.&nbsp; So, it takes a long time to build up a reputation, which I have been working on doing by being an active member here and another popular coin forum.</p><p><br /></p><p>While I have built up a handful of clients whom have all given repeated business, it&#039;s certainly not enough to live off of.&nbsp; I enjoy what I do and I am still working on building my business.&nbsp; I am reluctantly finding that I have to expand into social media such Facebook (which I despise) as well as Twitter and Instagram.&nbsp; I am not wired like a lot people who take to those platforms very well.&nbsp; I have to force myself to even start doing it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any business involving working with other peoples property would be foolish not to have insurance to protect yourself.&nbsp; When you are handling $50,000.00 plus of someones coins, it can be nerve racking.&nbsp; Which is why when I find myself in that position, I work my butt off to get the coins imaged over night and back out to the PO the next day if possible.&nbsp; I also recommend using a PO Box and never use your personal address.&nbsp; When returning coins, I mandate that they be returned via Registered Mail, unless my client has a third party shipping insurance that will cover the return shipping.&nbsp; I trust myself far more than the USPS, so nothing leaves my custody without being insured.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
